BTW, This Is The Guy Who Just Published The WaPo Op/Ed Trashing Trump...

How long before Trump and Faux News start branding him a 'conflicted angry Democrat,' or a 'low life?' Or bringing up the time he came to a Halloween party dressed as Joseph Stalin in 1968?



Admiral McRaven, who organized the Bin Laden raid, just published an Op/Ed in the Washington Post praising Brennan, trashing Trump, and saying...

"Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation... Therefore, I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency."

than tweeting shit in the middle of the night.

Duty, Honor, Country are but three.

What the ducklipped asshole doesn't realize is there are people that made those three words their code of conduct.

I salute them. The older I get, the more I salute them.

Trump makes good on threat to revoke Brennan's clearance
His son-in-law"s request for a security clearance should be revoked as well but i'm sure there is a Russian somewhere undocumented and living the US that can use Brennan's clearance.

Watch: Fight! First play involving DeAndre Hopkins in Niners-Texans practice leads to scuffle
The fights that Trump has created through his platform of racism is way worst than that of the NFL. At least the NFL make up and move on without causing harm, danger, racism, bigotry, fascism and unequivocal hatred to more than half the entire country. Vote November.

Challenge the petulant eight year old to do something completely stupid, even for a petulant eight year old. Trump would never take the bait. "What do you think I am, stupid or something"?

Yes, Mr. petulant eight year old, you are "stupid or something"!

I'm so glad I watched it. I almost didn't open the thread. I would have missed out.

I have since passed along your comments with the video. It is a set. Very powerful.

Admiral McRaven is an American hero.

You have just about made this old Sailor cry tears of fierce, hot pride.

Honor, Courage, Committment -- The NAVY Creed -- something trump would NEVER understand.


SEMPER FORTIS, Sir.
